Big man: I am the Champion Marquis!

Chapter 62 Indescribably precious
Liu Che enjoyed the singing and dancing with great interest, and he was in a very good mood.

Although Li Guangli's ability to lead troops was disappointing, the speed at which the war was progressing over there was jaw-dropping.

Everyone thought it was a natural thing, but who knew it would develop in the direction of losing soldiers and generals and the war going badly.

But those were not particularly important to Liu Che. The Huns were the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty!

It has been fifteen years since the Battle of Mobei. After the Huns fled back to Mobei, the Han Dynasty sent troops several times to seek opportunities to fight, but basically returned empty-handed.

And now it was still Wei Huo, who had killed thirty thousand men in battle, captured ten thousand, and seized countless cattle and horses.

The Huns were further weakened, and they simply did not have the courage to covet the south of the desert in the short term!

Liu Che narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Where is the Champion Marquis?"

Chuntuo immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the prince will probably be outside Chang'an tomorrow."

"Arrange people to wait." Liu Che said, "Have people prepare cattle, sheep, fruits and vegetables, and let the prince go to reward the army when the time comes!"

Chuntuo continued to answer, "Your Majesty, someone is already waiting. He has been waiting for a few days."

Liu Che was still very much looking forward to seeing Huo Shan, whom he had personally trained, escorting Zuo Xian Wang back to the capital, and he really couldn't wait.

Suddenly, a guard came to see him, "Your Majesty, the troops of Marquis Guanjun have arrived outside Chang'an City!"

Liu Che opened his eyes instantly, and was overjoyed. "Look, this is my champion marquis! It is often said that speed is of the essence in war, and he always comes back faster than others!"

Madam Li, who was accompanying the emperor, forced herself to smile. The emperor had always liked the Marquis of Guanjun. Now that he had made great contributions, he would surely be even more favored by the emperor.

"Quickly summon the Marquis of Guanjun!" Liu Che gave the order directly, "Shan'er is not used to hardship, let him come back and rest first, there is no need for him to wait in the barracks."

Madam Li felt even more sour in her heart, as he was already the Marquis of Guanjun and a lieutenant commander of the Yao clan, and had already joined the army, but the emperor still let the Marquis of Guanjun continue to live in the palace, and even in a side hall of the emperor's bedroom.

"Chun Tuo, ask the mother and daughter of his kitchen to quickly prepare some food that Shan'er likes." Liu Che was very happy and quickly made arrangements, "Have someone prepare hot water. Shan'er likes fine clothes."

The happy Liu Che continued to make arrangements, "Go and call the Queen and the Crown Prince over, otherwise Shan'er will definitely find an excuse. To save trouble, call them over first!"

Madam Li felt even more sour in her heart. Since she had been favored in the past few years, His Majesty had seldom seen the Queen, and they could only meet a few times throughout the year.

But now, Marquis Guanjun has just returned, and His Majesty immediately summoned the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Even though she felt jealous, Mrs. Li couldn't do anything about it because it was her brother's fault for not living up to her expectations.

The eldest brother Li Yannian is good at music and raising dogs, and his brother Li Guangli is still fighting hard. As for the queen, her younger brother is a general and her nephew is a general of cavalry.

I thought the general had not led troops in recent years and the General of Cavalry had been dead for more than ten years. I had also thought that after my brothers had made meritorious contributions and were awarded titles, I would try to replicate the glory of Queen Wei.

But now, the queen has a nephew of the Marquis of Guanjun! He has made great contributions again!

She should continue to serve the emperor diligently, which is what she should do best. She can't rely on her brothers anymore, she can only rely on herself!

"Let the queen choose two beautiful women." Liu Che continued to issue an order, saying, "They can be around 20 years old! Chuntuo, do you think this is the right approach?"

Chuntuo said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I think it would be best if one is beautiful and the other is more delicate."

Liu Che nodded immediately, "That's right, that's right! Remember to serve others and help Xian'er bathe."

"Your Majesty, if I serve you, I need longer legs." Chuntuo was observant and could please the emperor. "A thinner waist and a plump vagina will surely please you!"

Liu Che looked at Chuntuo and asked worriedly, "Chuntuo, I haven't heard which noble family Shan'er likes to visit, right?"

Chuntuo quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I haven't heard of it. The prince just likes dance music."

"This kid!" Liu Che was a little worried. "When I asked him to get married, he refused and only liked older women. If he really made a fool of himself, how could I save my reputation?"

If Huo Xian were here, he would definitely cry out in injustice. He just doesn't like girls who are too young. He likes young and beautiful girls, around 20 years old is enough, and he doesn't like girls older than that.

A group of people immediately started to get busy, and another guard came, "Your Majesty, the Champion Marquis is outside the palace asking to see you!"

Liu Che immediately laughed and scolded, "This bastard, abandoning the army and returning to the palace first, is also rebellious!"

Having said that, Liu Che still summoned him immediately.

He was dressed in armor, holding a spear in his left hand and the handle of the ring-handled sword at his waist in his right hand, and walked towards the Xuanshi room in a majestic manner.

There were some dark red bloodstains on the armor, and even on the cloak there were some obvious dark red bloodstains.

Standing outside the Xuanshi Hall, Huo Shan said loudly, "Your Majesty, I, the commander of the Yaoyao Army, was ordered to fight against the Xiongnu. Now I have returned victorious and come to report back!" Liu Che's eyes were full of this high-spirited young man, "Come into the hall quickly!"

"This guy won't let me!" Huo Xian complained, "These people are stubborn. I am a young hero who has returned to the capital victoriously, and I should let His Majesty see how majestic I am! But now they won't allow me to hold a weapon!"

The guards were extremely embarrassed, but they did not dare to think of letting their subjects get close to the emperor with weapons.

Liu Che laughed and scolded, "Now that they have seen this, just put away your weapons."

Huo Xian then entered the palace, saying as he walked, "Your Majesty, I changed into this outfit specially. This is what I wore when I went to war. I have another better one waiting to be worn when I enter the city!"

What does it mean to cater to someone's preferences? This is what Huo Xian did!

As they were talking, Wei Zifu and Liu Ju asked for a meeting almost at the same time, and they also came immediately after receiving the imperial edict.

Wei Zifu and Liu Ju were naturally very happy to see Huo Xian, but seeing Huo Xian's thin and dark appearance, they couldn't hide their heartache in their eyes.

After Huo Xian finished his greetings, he began to shout, "Your Majesty, I'm going to change my clothes first. This armor and clothes don't fit me. I'll change into something lighter. It's best to be comfortable when I come back!"

Liu Che waved his hand and said, "I knew you would do that. I have arranged it for you."

"Then I'll come to eat after I finish my bath!" Huo Xian continued, "Let's have some good wine! Your Majesty, I am so shameless. How about we eat and watch some singing and dancing? After being on the expedition for more than half a year, I think even a sow would be more beautiful than Xi Shi!"

Liu Che laughed and scolded, "Go away! What are you thinking about all day long?"

Seeing Huo Xian swaggering out of the Xuanshi Hall, Wei Zifu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I thought Xian'er would improve after going to the war, but I didn't expect her to still be so frivolous!"

"It can't be changed!" Liu Che said with a smile, "This child has been smart since he was young. When you say he is rude, he really is rude. I know that he just doesn't care about small matters, but he always has a sense of justice!"

Wei Zifu and Liu Ju naturally understood this. Even though Huo Shan was always noisy in front of the emperor and seemed to be a little arrogant due to his favor,

But that’s not particularly important. When it comes to serious matters, Huo Xian has always been very responsible.

A strong sense of propriety is one of Huo Xian's characteristics.

Huo Xian happily took a bath and changed into luxurious clothes. "I almost got a few pounds of mud on my body! Not to mention when I was fighting, even when I came back, I could only clean myself up at the inn. It was not comfortable to take a bath!"

Liu Che said with disdain, "It's almost time to eat, and you're saying these weird things!"

Huo Xian chuckled, then sat cross-legged at his small dining table. It was natural for this to happen as the Han Dynasty practiced the practice of separate dining.

Raising his glass, Huo Xian said, "Your Majesty, I was lucky enough to succeed this time, all thanks to your careful teaching. I will drink this glass to congratulate your majesty!"

Liu Che picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Okay, drink it up!"

Huo Xian drank it all in one gulp and raised the cup again, "Your Majesty, the court has won a great victory this time. I congratulate the court and drink this cup to the full!"

Liu Che smiled and said to Wei Zifu and Liu Chuan, "You guys raise your glasses too!"

Huo Xian chuckled and stopped drinking the third cup. "Your Majesty, I have captured the Left Wise King! I was just thinking of capturing a few famous kings and captains, but I didn't expect to capture the Left Wise King and behead the Right Danghu in one go!"

Liu Che smiled and asked, "You are also reckless!"

"We have a great general. How can I achieve success if I don't come up with a surprising strategy?" Huo Xian said, "With the great general's temperament, we will definitely win in the end. But I will probably be in the main camp, not even a deputy general!"

Liu Che did not refute, he also liked to use unusual troops to achieve extraordinary success.

"If Your Majesty gave me 10,000 troops, would I need to plan for those troops of Marquis Xuye?" Huo Xian began to complain, "You also forbid me to lead the army alone. How can I get away without finding an excuse?"

"So, I delayed you?" Liu Che said jokingly, "I warned you many times, but you didn't listen. You can't go to war. I will give you more soldiers in the future, and you won't have to take risks!"

Liu Ju said, "Xian'er, you were too reckless this time. After hearing about this, the Queen Mother was unable to sleep or eat. You should be more cautious!"

Huo Xian did not refute, but after eating a few bites of the food, he asked suspiciously, "Was my cook brought into the palace?"

Liu Che scolded, "Since you are not in the palace, they should not enter the palace? Take your cook away to stop you from talking too much!"

Wei Zifu joked, "Your Majesty, Xian'er is really born rich. Just by eating a few bites, you can tell that she is the cook in his house."

"Tell me, how was this battle fought?" Liu Che began to become curious, or rather, full of expectation, "I specially called the Queen and the Crown Prince here to prevent you from finding excuses not to tell me."

Huo Xian refused to admit it. "Your Majesty, how dare I not tell you. But I was thinking that if my aunt and uncle weren't here, I would ask them to come over as well, so that I don't have to repeat it when I get to their place."

Liu Che urged, "Tell me how the battle was fought quickly, but what about the tactics I taught you?"

This is what Liu Che is concerned about. The champion marquis he trained must be a good teacher and a good student!
